TagSpaces
Organize your files and folders with tags·tagspaces.org
TagSpaces is a free, open-source file organizer for Windows, macOS, Linux, and the web. It lets users tag files and folders, take notes, and manage their digital life 100% offline with no login or backend required. The application stores tags directly with files (via filenames or sidecar files) rather than in a database, so metadata travels with the files across devices.
